effyoo Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 ^^unless you own mutual funds that will get in on it. thats almost the only way for the little guy to get in on the IPO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parcheesey Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 wait what, whats the difference between google now and it being public, i dont get what will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effyoo Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 johndoe, pretty much nothing. maybe. its just who owns the company. when companies go public, the financial side of the company is no longer private information, and anyone can buy sock if they want. So, the shareholders profit will tend to be the motivating factor in alot of company decisions. (eg. more ads, pay for top 10 search results, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telo Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 I know for a fact that in the next 5 years, the hits/searches that google has will dramatically decrease.. /holdin info like martha.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekro Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Nobody's going to become a millionaire in 12 hours with this IPO, they're structuring it so they can avoid the crazily inflated stock prices of the bubble-era 90s tech companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 As long as they keep the Page/Brin/Schmidt team intact, as well as the original company vision and philosophy, they should be good. I highly doubt shareholders will squander a highly profitable and proven business plan by going the way other search engines went, mainly what effyoo posted. Google makes money because of the effectiveness of their honesty (a VERY rare case in the corporate world). If they do fuck it up, they're fucking morons. Hopefully this helps usher in a new era of growth in the industry after the bubble burst. I couldn't think of a better company to set the example.
